Better get a harness saying "no talk - no touch: leave me alone, I'm working!"

Nothing works except a muzzle to keep people away

He turned 2 in January so almost 2 1/2. I’m not really sure when. Sometimes I think he still is but I think height wise maybe by a year? Or even 6 months. I think a year though. But then he still filled out for another year. He only just recently stopped filling out. He might still be. He got neutered in March so he got a little chunky after that ha but he’s still a good weight hah but yeah.

I think for most large breed males its 3 when they stop growing. But for large breed females it can be from 2 to 3.

thought it was around 2 years. 2 years is too long to wait to buy the nicer gear

Yeah that makes sense. He’s not really that big, only around knee high (I’m 5’ 11”), but he weighed I think 61 lbs last time? I’ll weigh him again soon since he needs to go for some shots and his checkup. They will weigh him and I’ll share it hahah I think he’s gained a few pounds but we’ll see. I just measured him and he’s 21 inches tall if I’m measuring correctly hahah he’s about the same length too (shoulder to base of tail), maybe slightly less. So he’s pretty compact hahah I think I’ve read with bully breeds it’s around 2-3 years though to fully develop?

Oh wow!

Yeah, though for the vast majority it's maturity, coat development...that sort of thing

Ah that makes sense

Yes there is something wrong. Neither of my dogs are ethically bred technically because of these contracts that say these.
Denvers breeder did do genetic testing, but didn't plan on breeding her until 2 when she couldget full testing done. Well the neighbors had a male golden and she was left unattended for 20 minutes.

Well, life happens while we are busy making other plans

...and mental development, they really change their behaviour.
